ANIMAL TAILS.
The Functions of Those of Cats Lions
and Jaguars.
A cat nev»r actually wags its tall.
Why should it when it ran pur? But
nevertheless it seems to serve the same
purpose In permitting a temporary ex
penditure of excess nervous energy
when the animal is under great strain.
For instance when carefully stalking
a bird or a man as in the case of a
kitten or a lion the tip of the tail is
never still for a moment■-ever curling
and uncurling We may compare tliis
to the nervous topping of the foot o.
fingers in a uian. When an angry 11 ou i
is roaring liis loudest. Ills tail will fre-
quently lash from side to sl.le giving
rise among the ancients lo the belief I
that he scourged his body with a hook j
or thorn which grew from the end of.j
the tail.
When a jaguar walks along a sien- j
del· bough or a housy cat perambulates j
the top of a board fence we perceive j
another important function of the tail
that of an aid In balancing. As a tight
rope performer sways his pole so the <
feline shifts its tail to preserve the
center of gravity.
The tail of a sheep seems to be of
little use to its owner although in tin-
breed which is found in Asia Minor
and on the tablelands of Tartary. thi -
organ functions us a storehouse of fat
and sometimes reaches a weight of
fifty pounds. When viewed from be-
hind. the animal seems all tail and
when this appendage reaches its full
size it is either fastened between two
sticks which drag 011 the ground or it
Is suspended on two small wheels.—C.
William Beebe in Outing Magazine.
BUSHRANGERS.
The Most Noted of the Later Day Out-
laws In Australia.
Bushrangers were originally run-
away convicts who took to the "bush"
as Australians call the backwoods
and became holdup men. About the
year 1830 the bushrangers became So
numerous that they fought regular en-
gagements with posses and soldiers
sent out to capture them and this J
form of crime continued sporadically
until within recent years. The most
famous of later rangers were the Kel-
ly brothers. After many daring crimes
and hairbreadth escapes the Kellys
actually held up the entire village of
Jerildcrie. X. S. W. which had a pop-
ulation of 'JKi. Xed Kelly looted the
bank of $10000 while his three pals
held the men of the village cooped up
in their homes. Although there was a
special bushranging act in force at the
time authorizing the detention of per-
sons supposed to lie in communication
with the outlaws the Kellys were not
heard of again for nearly a year when
they "stuck up" the small town of
Glenrowan. in Victoria. Here they
were brought to bay and three of the
desperadoes were shot dead in a house
they had barricaded while the leader.
Ned Kelly was brought to the ground
with a bullet through the legs. He
was hanged in 1880. All four of the
men were in the habit of wearing an
armor made of plowshares and weigh
lug almost a hundred pounds.—X'ew
York American.

3enton and Barton.
In the "Thirty Years In the United !
States Senate" by Thomas Hart Hen
ton Missouri's famous United States
senator there is scaut mention of Ben-
ton's colleague from Missouri David
Barton. The only place in which his
name occurs is where Senator Ben toi:
gives the roll call of the senate and
Barton's name of course is therein I
contained. Benton undertook to pun
Ish Barton by ignoring him and thus j
relegate the first United States sena j
tor from Missouri to oblivion. Barton ;
had brought about Benton's election to j
the senate. Barton was first named by ;
the legislature and there was a long J
contention as to the second senator J
ship. Finally Barton's friendship for I
Benton brought about Benton's elee- j
tion. Later the two quarreled over the !
appointment of an Indian agent in the (
far west and drifted .further and fur |
ther apart. Finally the relations be- !
tween the two senators became sue!ι 1
that they scarcely spoke to one an
other when they met.—Kansas Cky
Star.
The Injured One.
Λ gentleman owning a sugar estate
in Pemenira went out to visit it for
the first time. The day after his arrival
he stood watching the punts bringing
the cane home. A young negro boy
who was driving the mules wishing to
increase the speed of them struck one ι
of them with his whip. The mule !
promptly responded by launching out
with his heels and dealt the boy a kick
on the head which stretched him on
the ground where he lay rubbing his
woolly pate on the spot where the kick
had been received.
"Is lie hurt? Is he hurt?" cried the
planter In alarm. A full grown negro
hearing the expressions of coneeru.
sprang forward hastily and. raising the
mule's heels shouted out:
"No. boss! That mule him walk
tendah fo' a day or two but him no
hurt!"—Chambers' Journal.
The First Reporter.
The modern reporter harks back to
the relgu of Queen Anne and to the
unknown scribe who attempted to tell
the public the secrets of her parlia-
ment. He had a hard time of it for
parliament wished to keep its secrets
to itself. In 1728 an order was passed
"that it Is an indignity to and a breach
of the privilege of this house for any
person to presume to give in written
or printed newspai>ers any account or
minute of the debates or proceedings;
that upon discovery of the authors
printers or publishers of any suoli
newspapers this house will proceed
agaiust the offenders with the utmost
severity." During the famous Wilkes
case In 1772 the reporters won the vic-
tory which they have since held with-
out dispute.—New York American.
When the Lights Went Out.
Almost every speaker has had the
experience of the house becoming to-
tally dark because of the failure of the
electric lights. Here is such an expe-
rience by one lecturer. It was in 1'itts-
burg; tiic audience was a Hebrew so-
ciety. When the lights went out. the
lecturer waited a moment and then
said. "We will proceed anyway for 1
still have the Israel-lites." It was the
lilt of the evening.—Lyceumlte and
Talent.
A Great 8ecret.
some of the English country fairs
η "great secret" is sold in sealed en-
velopes at twopence apiece. Here is
the secret: "Never buy an article lie-
fore examining It. If you had known
this liefore. you would not have paid
twopence for this worthless envelope
when you could get more than two
dozen good ones for the same price."
A Thackeray blip.
Thackeray asked Lowell to point out
candidly any error of Queen Anne
English In the novel "Henry Esmond."
Lowell asked if people used at that
time the phrase "different to."
"Hang It all!" cried Thackeray. "No
of course they didn't."

COTTOX GROWERS MEET.
Annual Session of Southern Cotton
Association at Dallas.
Dallas Te-.su Feu. 20.—The
fourth annual session of the South-
ern Cotton association convened in
the fair grounds auditorium yester-
day morning. The weather was not
what outsiders had been led to ex-
pect but Dallas has tried to make
amends for the blasts of Boreas. The
auditorium was rather uncomfort-
able and Hon. C. H. Jenkins of
Brownwood "poked fun" at the
"cold storage plant." Hereafter the
sessions of the association are to be
held in the Commercial club rooms
and perfect comfort is assured to
every delegate who attends.
The attendance is not as large as
had been expected. Not over 150
delegates were present at the morn-
ing session. Many others arrived
during the day and there are about
500 delegates here ready for the se-
rious business of the convention to-
day.
The convention is an important
one. The association has nearly 90-
000 members and comprises many
of the most prominent men in the
south. At this meeting plans for
holding up the price of cotton are to
be discussed and decided on.
The voluntary retirement of
President Harvie Jordan who help-
ed organize the association at New
Orleans Jan. 25 1905 and who has
been its constant mainstay is regret-
ted by all. His withdrawal starts a
contest for his successor. For this
honor the name of J. C. Hickey of
Henderson Texas is being frequent-
ly mentioned. Others too are nam-
ed in this connection. All subjects to
be discussed are of importance to all
the south. Interest in the proceed-
ings promises to increase with every
session.

Gentlemen:—
In 1 697 I had a disease of the stomach
and bowels. Some physicians told meit wu
Dyspepsia some Consumption of the Lungs
others said consumption of the Bowels. On·
physician said I would not live until Spring
and for four long years 1 existed on a IfctU
boiled milk soda biscuits doctors' prescrip-
tions and Dyspepsia remedies that flooded
the market. I could not digest anything
I ate. and in the Spring 1902 1 picked up
one of your Almanacs as a poor emaciated
Dyspepsia wreck will grasp at anything and
that Almanac happened to be my life saver.
1 bought a fifty cent bottle of KODOL DYS-
PEPSIA CURB and the benefit ! received
from that bottle ALL THE UOLD IN
OBORG1A COULD NOT BUY. 1 kept on
taking it and in two months I went back t·
my work as a machinist and in three month·
1 was well and hearty. 1 still use a little oc-
casionally as ! find it a fine blood purifier
And a good tonic
May you live long and prosper.
Yours very truly
